I think somehow that they are arachnids, so maximum of 8 legs... and they still look better than camels!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

they are very nasty creatures. They feed on camels stomaches, thus ther name, they inject you with an anesthetic so you cant feel it feeding on you, they have a very good vertical leap.

I thought the photo looked a bit sensationalised - wide angle lens - so did a search.

Impressive but not THAT scary really ... unless you don't like spiders Wink

Wonder what they taste like fried?  8)

camel-spider.... spider - scorpion hybrid. Fastest arachnid, but not as dangerous as it looks.
